A Who's Who of the first-ever CMYK illustration fest

It's a group that that's both incredibly talented and incredibly varied in what it does with a pen and a piece of paper. It's also a group of well-known illustrators and design professionals drawn from across the UK exhibiting amongst artists based at least semi-locally, or with strong links to HCA.

Whether or not you're able to make it across (11am - 5pm) to Hay-on-Wye today for the talks and stalls and banter about the functionality of Adobe Illustrator on the ipad, there are at the very least some GREAT follows on Insta here.

Bio: "My work features landscapes which bear witness to the quieter emotional drama beneath the surface of everyday life.... I try to record these tensions and states, exploring ideas about documentation, storytelling and memory"
